If you put Frye & Painter together, you STILL would not have a serviceable NFL QB. When you stare down your intended receiver in the NF friggin’ L, well..that’s bad enough! But when you have a pop-gun for arm strength, you are DOOMED to throw multiple ints every game. The DBs make Frye THINK he’s got an open man. They bait Frye into throwing at them so they can pick his weakass throw off. Frye is showing why every other team dumped him. Instead of making $400K/yr (or whatever it is), Frye should be making minimum wage at Safeway or Kinney Shoes. Guaranteed loss for the Raiders this week. Guaranteed Frye throws more than 1 int. In fact, let’s start the under/over at 1.5 ints for Frye. What say Ye, Raider Nation? Over or Under?

Take out the emotion, and look at the QB situation…

Gradkowski: We already have an idea of what he can do. Did he earn a new contract? Absolutely. A “big” one? Absolutely not. A nice medium one would do. But, he shouldn’t play this game…we already know he’s a gamer.

Frye: We’ve seen what he can do…and know he’s not the under-fire answer at the position. Since we already know that, we need to move on.

Losman: Not fair to him, or the team, to expect him to do anything unless it’s an emergency. Ride the pines until camp, JP.

JaMarcus: This is the one last chance for JaMarcus to have a positive feeling going into the off-season. The team stands as much of a chance of winning with JaMarcus as they do with Frye…and it could be Jamarcus’s chance to throw down the gauntlet to Grad, JP, and a yet-to-be-named Free Agent, that he isn’t going to go away so easily.

For the sake of potential development, without diminishing the team’s chances to be competitive in the game, I say it’s time to put JaMarcus out there one more time.

A few months to digest the Ravens’ Defense, and his own QB future, might be just what the doctor ordered for JaMarcus. There aren’t any other on-the-job-training opportunities left for him this season.

^^^^^^^
Adding Vick would be a nice addition as well.
******************

Vick is RB pretending to be a QB. We need a real QB. Enough of the circus play. Pick-up Troy Smith, QB-RFA, Ravens and we’ll have a shot at a good young talent that could work out at QB. He’s got a strong arm, is accurate and mobile and would have been the Raven’s starter had it not been for an injury. He WANTS to be the starter and I predict would be interested in Oakland. we could also get him at minimal cost (draft pick wise).

DK, Vick wont help us, development of our reigning pine bencher more so, we truly need to get rid of Cable, get someone to call the plays, AD Football is not working anymore. We have very good talent, it’s just not used to it’s highest ability, IMHO!

^^^^^^^^^
Hiring a GM and Gruden and then adding Vick is the way to go.

Just adding Vick to lousy AD football with Cable as HC is not the answer as well.

===============================================
There is a “skills” clause in JaMarcus Russell’s contract that stipulates if his “skills” aren’t up to a professional standard they can terminate his contract with having to pay out the remainder or be penalized for doing so.
====================================
Actually, Dogg, I think that clause was one Al WANTED included, the clause that held up the signing into the second week of the season, but it never was added.

Players union laughed out loud that anyone would even consider running that by a draft pick, hoping they would accept.

We can’t even run the ball? This team under Cable is the biggest joke that we have every seen, I admire Cable for his loyalty, but he is not the man for this job, IMHO!

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:16:16 +0000http://www.ibabuzz.com/oaklandraiders/?p=9156#comment-218263Given that the league adopted an eight-year rotation from 2002 through 2009, which would ensure that every team plays in every other stadium and hosts every other team at least once during that period, will the same formula apply for 2010?

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello pointed out to us that, per page 16 of the 2009 NFL Record and Fact Book, the league decided after the 2008 season to apply the same formula in 2010.

Aiello tells us that the formula will continue to apply beyond 2010, too.

Presumably, the formula will remain in place unless and until the current alignment of eight four-team divisions changes.

The current format consists of each team playing two games against each division opponent, four games against all of the teams in another division in the same conference, two games against the teams from the other two divisions in the conference that finished in the same position (e.g., the first-place team in the AFC East plays the first-place teams from the other two divisions), and one game against each of the four teams from one division in the other conference.

For 2010, the AFC East teams play all teams of the AFC North and the NFC North.

The AFC North teams play the teams of the AFC East and the NFC South.

The AFC South teams play the teams of the AFC West and the NFC East.

The AFC West teams play the teams of the AFC South and the NFC West.

The NFC East teams face the teams of the NFC North and the AFC South.

The NFC North teams play the teams of the NFC East and the AFC East.

The NFC South teams play the teams of the NFC West and the AFC North.

The NFC West teams play the teams of the NFC South and the AFC West.

The only unknowns at this point relate to those two games against the teams from the other two divisions in each conference. By Monday, it’ll all be sorted out. Then, in April, the league will announce the dates and times of the various games.
